when you could just go to the local SPCA and get a REAL animal for free

(not including food and vet visits of course)

Guys, apparently the yearly subscription is only going up for the States. I dunno whether it's partly due to compensate for dollar value or anything, but I read that while the monthly fee for Xbox Live in Canada, Mexico and the UK will go up, all other subscription packages will stay the same price, meaning that we won't have to pay anymore for a yearly subscription.
But eventhough the price change wont affect me, it still pisses me off that Microsoft would make such a move and try to justify it by saying that it's because of the new features they added. It's complete bullshit because hardly anybody even wanted those features to begin with, all people want to do is play online with their friends, fuck Facebook and Twitter. But apparently Microsoft thinks adding pointless features is a worthwhile excuse to force everyone to pay more. Also, I didn't think they'd dare raise the price when PSN should be keeping them competitive as their service is free.

Dude. This is just another reason for people to get a PS3.

Maybye Microsoft Just hates America.DEATH TO AMERICA
